QUICK RECAP OF LAST NIGHT'S SPAGHETTI DINNER (WHAT I SAW OR HEARD - OR AS BAYLOR SAID - MY OPINION).

THE NO SHOWS WERE COFFEY, BENEDETTI, GOLDBERG, TIMBERLAKE, AND ETHERIDGE, BLEVINS, RANDY SMITH, AND CAESAR. (IF I MISSED ANYONE, HELP ME OUT.)

GOLDBERG HAD HIS WIFE SPEAK FOR HIM. BENEDETTI HAD DARRYL MILLS EXPLAIN SHE HAD A SICK AUNT.

WILCOX STILL HAS HIS STUMLER BUTTON ON WHICH IS AGAINST PARTY RULES. WILCOX IS NOT ALLOWED TO ENDORSE ANYONE - HE IS SUPPOSE TO REPRESENT ALL THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES AND HELP ALL, NOT ONE.

NOT EVERYONE SERVED LAST NIGHT. ENGLAND AND BAYLOR DID NOT SERVE FOOD. THOSE TWO PEOPLE WERE TOO BUSY UP EACH OTHER'S YOU KNOW WHAT THUS RENDERING THEM UNABLE TO SERVE.

GLOTZBACH GAVE A GOOD SPEECH. DENHART GAVE A GOOD SPEECH. HARRIET SPOKE FOR MAURY STATING HIS FIVE TERMS ON COUNCIL WOULD MAKE HIM A GOOD CLERK. BAYLOR SIMPLY BASHED ED CLERE, BRIDGE TOLLS AND CARRIED ON ABOUT HOW HIGH HIS PROPERTY TAXES ARE. THIS AFTER HIM BASHING CITIZENS WHO GOT THE PROPERTY TAX CAP PASSED AT THE STATE LEVEL. HE SAID NOTHING ABOUT WHAT HE COULD/WOULD DO FOR THE CITIZENS OF NEW ALBANY, NOT EVEN BRINGING UP TWO WAY STREETS.

GAHAN GAVE A GOOD SPEECH. MCLAUGHLIN SIMPLY TALKED ABOUT HE HAS A FREE RIDE UNTIL THE FALL. STUMLER SUPPORTS THE BIG DEVELOPMENT DOWNTOWN BY MAINLAND ALONG WITH THE PARKING GARAGE. ENGLAND SAID THE PARKING GARAGE WILL BE BUILT. PRICE SPOKE WELL. PATTI WALKER SAID SHE HAS EXPERIENCE WITH BUDGETS AND FINANCE. WILKINSON THINKS THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE WOMEN ON THE COUNCIL. HATFIELD/ROSENBARGER WAS MAD. GONDER SPOKE WELL. BAIRD SPOKE WELL.

PHIPPS WANTS TAX ABATEMENTS FOR ANY NEW RESIDENTS WHO MOVE DOWNTOWN AND SUPPORTS THE POLICE AND FIRE. WE COULD GO ON, BUT YOU GET THE DRIFT.

SHELLEY ENGLAND ANNOUNCED THE MERGER OF THE FLOYD COUNTY DEMOCRAT WOMEN'S CLUB TOGETHER WITH THE FLOYD COUNTY MEN'S CLUB TOGETHER WITH THE FLOYD COUNTY YOUNG DEMOCRATS.

OKAY, NOW IT'S YOUR TURN TO TELL THESE CANDIDATES WHAT YOU WANT FROM THEM AS A VOTER AND AS A TAXPAYER. GOOD LUCK.
